(MENAFN - Jordan Times) The Ministry of Labor and the Jordan Valley Company on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to recruit more Jordanians to the agricultural sector.
Under the agreement, the company will gradually hire 1,000 Jordanians for the agricultural sector in accordance with the Kingdom's needs, providing workers with JD150 monthly salaries as well as social security, health insurance and transportation.
"The MoU comes in accordance with His Majesty King Abdullah announcing 2009 as the year for agriculture," said Minister of Labour Ghazi Shbeikat at the signing ceremony.
He added that the ministry will be committed to cover the workers' subscription expenses in the Social Security Corporation for five years after recruiting the first batch.
Another MoU was also signed between the Vocational Training Corporation (VTC) and Spanish MAKIBER S.A. Company on Thursday to design and implement a model vocational training centre in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone.
Under the agreement, MAKIBER will assist the VTC in managing the centre to provide top-quality vocational training, said MAKIBER Middle East Manager Philippe Chateau.
"Aqaba is the right place for this project as it is growing and attracting investments," Chateau noted.
"We seek to benefit from the Spanish experience in vocational training," said Shbeikat, adding that the centre must be up to international standards to ensure that graduates remain in high demand.
